U-Haul International announced Monday that it’s expanding its benefits to include mental health coverage and resources to its 30,000 workers in the U.S. and Canada. The moving and storage chain partnered with ComPsych, an employee assistance program (EAP) and wellness provider, to offer its employees extensive mental and emotional support at no additional cost to them and no requirement that they belong to the company’s medical plan.
U-Haul said the program, called “You Matter,” offers both full- and part-time workers and everyone in their households with access to ComPsych’s counseling staff, including up to five sessions per mental health issue a year, for what the company described as “an unlimited number of life situations.” Employees can access the program’s services by phone or a portal, and the company can request onsite counselors in some instances, according to U-Haul.
Besides counseling, the program provides wellness benefits, such as a concierge service to help with stressful situations like finding childcare, U-Haul said.
